The Butcher’s Market’s Valentine’s Day Dinner is perfect for a romantic, high-quality meal at home. My mom and I recently picked up one of their dinner packages and found it easy to prepare.
I know cooking with raw meat or seafood can be intimidating, but I promise it’s easier than you think. With a few ingredients for seasoning already in our pantry, we created a lovely and delicious meal.
Various Valentine’s Dinner packages, like filet and shrimp, filet and lobster, petite sirloin, tenderloin tip, or salmon fillet, are available. Take home a superb, easy-to-prepare dinner that will surely impress anyone.
We tried out the most popular package, which includes two filet mignons, two coldwater lobster tails, two twice-baked potatoes, and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Neither of us had ever cooked a lobster tail at home, and after this experience, we agreed that we would do it more often! These meaty, quality lobsters from The Butcher’s Market are so simple to prepare and rival any restaurant we’ve been to.
One of the many reasons we love shopping there is that it encourages us to try new things in the kitchen, and we’ve never regretted it.
This meal turned out better than we hoped, and you can watch our process in the kitchen in the video at the top of this post. We had a great time cooking and an even better time eating!
We will return to The Butcher’s Market as each holiday rolls around because after trying their holiday roast and this Valentine’s Day meal, we don’t want to miss out on everything else they have in store!

- Cut open the lobster tails. Using sharp kitchen kitchen shears or a knife, cut a line down the middle of the exterior, making two small snips to either side once you reach the tail, forming a "T" shape. Break open the exterior, place your thumbs under the meat, and pull it up, placing it on top of the cracked exterior.2 lobster tails
